Meanwhile, Marvel boss Kevin Feige has already announced that they will not recreate Chadwick Boseman through CGI or recast him ever. He said, “So much of the comics and that first movie is the world of Wakanda. Wakanda is a place to further explore with characters and different subcultures. This was always and initially the primary focus of the next story.”
Kevin Feige added, “We’re not going to have a CG Chadwick Boseman and we’re not recasting T’Challa. Ryan Coogler is working very hard right now on the script with all the respect and love and genius that he has, which gives us great solace, so it was always about furthering the mythology and the inspiration of Wakanda. There’s also the task of honoring and respecting the ongoing learnings and teachings from Chad as well.”
